to think fucking Braveheart is the most wankingly awful film every made

[GetOrfMoiLand]

DP has got it on - every so often I look up at Mel Gibson's vile face and blowdry and hurl insults at the screen.

Me: it's SHITE. I bet all the Scots in the world think it's SHITE as well

I remember seeing Independence Day when it was first released and when the Brit answering the phone in the Iraqi desert shouted out to his colleagues "the Americans are organising a fightback" (or words to that effect) the entire cinema collapsed laughing.

Recommend Mars Attacks as a hilarious antidote to that sort of rubbish.

Big pile of wank, massive innacuracies in history but i do enjoy the true stories of william wallace and his escapades. He was actually a nasty bastard and not a nice wee fanny floating about in a sash with his well toned chest and hairless face.

Especially if the statue in Lanark is anthing to go by.... Big hairy bastard.

Whereas Mel is just a big HAIRED bastard

hockeyforjockeys - it hasn't changed much. The Scots love it and believe it's real and gives them just another opportunity to hate the English.
I remember that tosser Rob Wainwright, Scottish rugby captain with an English posh accent that could cut glass, appearing in the papers before a game against England clutching a claymore and with his face painted blue. What a wanker!

God yes we wet ourselves at the Brits in the desert as well. Part of me thinks the whole thing was a subtle piss take

I guess you haven't seen Battlefield Earth. That was the worst movie I have ever seen. Closely followed by Titanic.

I must admit I haven't seen Braveheart but that is because it did look shit.

The orange jumpsuits in 'Armageddon' didn't help either. A cross between a bad Easyjet flight and car sickness.

Perfect Storm. DH hasn't been allowed to chose what film we watch since he chose that at the cinema.

Yes!

He sounded just like Harry Enfield's

To Maud BTW, I got distracted watching the clips on you-tube.

I would like the think that Indy Day was a cosmic practical joke as well.

There are some real gems in it - the presidents wife dies, and the pres and his daughter just look at each other with an 'oh well, it'll all come out in the wash' expression on their faces.

And Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum, after they MIRACULOUSLY infiltrate the alien's networks with a virus (isn't it a bloody coincidence that the alien ship computers has compatable USB ports?) spark up a cigar as they fly home.

What a crock of shit.

LOL Mists!!

The President's wife died of a bad hairdo as far as I remember?

I went to see braveheart at the cinema with my ex boyf when I lived in Scotland. he actually TOLD ME OFF after the end of the film for having the audacity to: 'show total disrespect to the scots'. My crime? Eating my M&Ms during the Mel Gibson death scene.
We broke up not long afterwards. What a dickhead.

ROFL MiniMouse!

what was perfect storm about? I know I watched it...?

Oh see I LOVE Armageddon and Independence Day. They're so cheesetastically terrible they're great brain-candy for a Friday night.

Mindless rubbish that you can switch your brain cells off and watch with a bucket of popcorn and a bottle of wine.

Agree that Braveheart is shite though. I've just made DH turn it over to Run Fatboy Run

Not read the thread but if it wasn't for the crap that is Steel Magnolias I woud agree with you

Rooster Cogburn is an excellent film; anything with Kate Hepburn is worth an hour and a half of your life.

Quite why anyone feels the need to remake True Grit, though, is beyond me. If you like westerns, why would you need a remake when the original had John Wayne in it?

I suspected as much demented. Interestingly I went to Guatemala a couple of years ago where Mel Gibson made a film about the Mayans. People I spoke to loathed the film and Mel Gibson for its historical innacuracies. Just goes to show how ridiculous some Scots can get when they have an opportunity to bash the English. Braveheart seemed to be serious wank fodder for some of the boys I went to school with for just that reason.

that was a shit execution scene - he was quartered - where was the blood?

Minimousse

Hockeyforjockeys, do I take it that in Mel's Mayan film the Conquistadors all talk with cut glass posh English accents

I believe that True Grit is not a remake of the film as such, but a retelling of the book, so a bit different.
